Here's a picture I took last September in the high desert of west Texas near the Balmorhea State Park. When I see an old trailer or boat that has obviously been abandoned and come to an ignominious end, I always wonder whether it ever lived up to its owner's dreams and expectations - hence the title.

To me, this abandoned old travel trailer just begged to be processed in black and white. I also tried to give the image the feel of an old film-based photo. ​
